Father’s Day weekend turned tragic in a Houston neighborhood after a domestic dispute between a man and his spouse, identified as Martha Alicia Oliva Padilla, evolved into a homicide investigation with some of the most disturbing details imaginable. While Luis Adrian Zepeda Lopez was still making mechanical repairs beneath his vehicle, Padilla allegedly got into the car with their two minor children and drove away, dragging him underneath the vehicle until he died.
There are still no definitive details about what sparked the domestic dispute. However, Houston Police Department Captain Ryan Watson was able to outline nearly everything else investigators believe happened leading up to Lopez’s death.
